Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)
حديث أبي موسى الأشعري
Hadith 788:204

Whoever says: 'There is no god but Allah,' being truthful in it, will enter Paradise." So they went out to give glad tidings to the people, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met them, so they gave him the glad tidings. He sent them back.

He said: "If [you do that], the people will rely [solely] upon it, O Messenger of Allah."
